Do You Promise?// Draco Malfoy

"Do not pitty the dead..."//3

"Scarlett, get up. Come to me my child." A voice called.

I spun around trying to pinpoint the voice that seemed to fly around. The room began to spin as I finally gave up and started running. I was thrown back against the wall then looked up to see none other my father and some woman. He held out his hand as if he wanted me to grab it.

"Come to us child." The woman's voice melodic voice called.

I reached up and went to grab dad's hand but they had disappeared. Before I could look around the scene changed and I was in a cemetery. My legs started to walk but were pulled back. I looked down to see that my feet were chained to the floor. A figure made it's way to me. It was a new figure to me. I had never seen it before. Once the figure was close enough I knew who it was. Lord Voldemort.

"Why hello my dear. Are you ready to accept your fate and become a death eater? Are you ready to be just like daddy?" He questioned. Behind him stood my father and the woman from before.

"Yes." My voice was constant. I knew what I had said and I did on purpose.

"Good."

His wand reached towards my arm and before I could react, the same arm was in his hand. He looked at me before touching my arm with his wand. There was a light then unbearable pain.

I woke up panicked and immediately checked my arm. Nothing. Thank Merlin! I decided then that sleeping wasn't going to happen for a while. I made my way to the common room. Upon reaching the softly lit room I found the blond boy sitting on a couch.

"What are you doing up?" I asked, startling him.

"I-I was- I couldn't sleep. What about you?" He quickly replied.

"Had a bad dream. Do you mind if I join you?"

"Guess not. But you sit on the other couch."

"Such a gentleman."

"I know I am, thanks for the compliment."

"Ugh, one of those people. Do you do this when you can't sleep? Hang out in the common room?"

"Yeah. It's the quietest place. Well actually it's a lot more....empty than the dorm rooms."

"That's true."

The nice conversation continued on until, of course, he had to ruin it. The sad part is he did it with only one question. I never thought the question would ruin a simple conversation but it did. It was a simple question though. A simple question to go with a simple conversation but the question was way off topic.

"So why did you beat up that kid at Uagadou anyways? Was it something he said or something else?"

"I don't really wanna talk about it."

"Oh."

With that silence followed. I couldn't help but look at him. His hair was messy but it was bleach blond, his eyes were a piercing yet beautiful grey, his skin was as pale as mine. My eyes slowly wondered over his face, taking in his features. He was handsome no doubt about it but he's got a horrible personality. My eyes traveled to one place and stayed there. They had planned to stay there if I hadn't done something.

"You know what I just remembered?" I asked diverting my eyes away from his lips. "You actually never told me your name."

"Really? Well I kind of figured with who your dad is you should know me. I'm his favorite student. Or is that Granger? Nope it's most likely me. I think."
